discrepancies and it delays service distribution. The existing system shows its limitations more clearly as student
populations rise and users require faster services. Educational institutions now utilize online systems because
information technology has progressed to provide these systems which enhance administrative operations
through better performance and precise results and easier access to their services. The web-based document
processing systems enable students to submit their requests through electronic means while they track their
progress in real time and they can minimize their need to visit campus offices. The system enables administrators
to access central databases while it streamlines processes through automated systems and enhances
interdepartmental communication.
The study aims to create an Online School Document Processing System which improves the registration
processes at Pangasinan State University through its online system between students and administrative staff
which includes the Registrar and the Cashier. The proposed system aims to automate document and approval
processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency, reducing processing time, and improving overall service
quality. The university will achieve administrative modernization through system implementation which will
deliver better services to its stakeholders with enhanced transparency and operational efficiency.
The Online School Document Processing System generates institutional advantages because it helps
administrators work more efficiently while creating a campus environment that uses less paper at Pangasinan
State University -Alaminos City Campus. The system digitizes all operations which previously required physical
documents because it makes operations more efficient and reduces document maintenance expenses through its
digital document processing. An efficient administrative system is essential in improving service delivery within
higher education institutions, as it enhances accessibility, transparency, and reliability for both students and staff.
The use of online document requests and digital record management systems reduces students and staff needs to
visit campus offices, which results in less administrative office congestion and better time management. The
research assesses two aspects of the proposed system which include technical development and institutional
modernization along with its contribution to sustainable administrative operations. The system implementation
at Pangasinan State University - Alaminos City Campus will improve document processing methods through
better communication between Registrar and Cashier offices. The study presents an analysis that covers system
development and actual system use along with expected benefits which provide essential knowledge about
digital transformation and administrative systems in higher education. The findings of this study may serve as a
reference for future initiatives aimed at improving efficiency, service quality, and sustainability in university
document management systems.
METHODOLOGY
The purposed system development utilizes Agile Software Development. The project team uses Agile
methodology to build the system through repeated development cycles which enable them to enhance the system
based on user input and changing project needs. The system development process creates a system that can
quickly adapt to changing requirements from end users who work primarily as Registrar and Cashier staff
members. Agile methodology enables development teams to conduct testing and validation activities throughout
the development cycle which allows them to detect problems at an early stage and emphasis on user involvement,
consists of six phases: Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment and Review. During
Requirements Planning a combination of interviews and surveys collect data and concepts for system needs
identification alongside potential issues discovery. The researchers used a developmental research design which
researchers typically use for information technology projects that involve designing and developing systems to
assess their performance. The feedback was analyzed to identify any issues or areas for improvement. The
evaluation results required system adjustments which made necessary improvements to ensure the final system
met user requirements and accomplished the project goals. The development method of the mobile application
follows an adapted Agile model as shown in Fig. 1.
